Ok, this inventor invented a radio signaling device that used frequency hopping, patented it and then gave it to the Navy to use with their torpedoes. The Navy, of course demurred, as they thought a player piano wouldn't fit inside a torpedo. Later technology would rediscover how important that invention was. Who was the inventor?

The last Hornet was finished today/updated thread.
More than enough time for a question.

With that many launches, recoveries and pilots qualified it makes me want to think of a training carrier. However, the three I am aware of being the Sable, Wolverine and Lexington don't fit the time lines. Yet, the British did have two Light Fleet Carriers that lasted into the 21st Century, the Vengeance (Minas Gerais) and Hercules (Vikrant) but neither was commissioned before 1945.
